For a third time in less than a week, a man has died in a house fire in Maine.
The body of a man was found Tuesday morning in the remains of his home in the Piscataquis County town of Orneville.
A neighbor reported the fire at about 1:30 a.m., and when crews arrived at the home on Little Boyd Lake Road, it was fully engulfed in flames.
The man's name has not been released.
"It's a camp, but he'd lived there year-round he was in there by himself. No other family lived there with him and we found one male deceased in the home itself. At least two dogs that perished in the fire as well," Scott Richardson, of the State Fire Marshal's Office, said.
The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.
On Sunday, Harold Young, 88, died when his farmhouse in Surry caught fire.
And last Wednesday, Lawrence Dries, 80, was found in his Union home after a fire.
